27

Today's my 27th birthday. This year, my birthday marks the same age my mother was turning when she had me. I was an early birthday present for her - born on Friday the 10th & her birthday on Monday the 13th.  I am very aware of the fact that at my age now, my mom was becoming a young mom. Hard to believe!

Cheers to my 27th year bringing my first time living by myself in my very own apartment, more travels to places new & old (back to Florence in November!), and surprises around every corner. :)

Happy birthday to me & an early happy birthday to my Mom!

    Isn't it funny how that works? My Mom had me when she was 28 (which I will be in August, gross!) and when I was little, I always just assumed I'd be a Mom by then. As of now- I can't imagine it! It is funny to think about. Thanks for this little blurb about it.

    And... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To you and your Mom! Let's celebrate by you taking me to Florence, k?

    Happy Birthday!! I'm turning 27 pretty soon, too :)

    I can't imagine being a mom at this age--my mom already had two kids at 27!

    Happy birthday!! One of my favorite things about growing up is coming to understand what my parents were going through when they were my age. I can't imagine what I'll feel when I have children!
